Box: Birchbox Limited Edition: How to Hygge Box
Cost: $53 ($180 Value)
Hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”) is still available. Will it go on sale or sell out? Stay tuned. I.will.stay.tuned 😉
Coupon: I used FOLLOW which gave me 20% and free shipping. There are other codes out there my backup code would have been FROGPRINCE for that green color changing lipstick from Lipstick Queen.
Miss my ACE free ship status and the recent 48 hour $5 credit. Those were the days.
I also added the free mystery pack since my order was over $35.
Meh. See below.
Here is the HOO-GA Box:
Here are the Products:
amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask – Travel-size
I LOVE this amika soulfood nourishing mask (for me and my Squeakers) and that I usually get them in subscription boxes. Eventually I may have to buy a full size when/if my conditioner needs deplete. It smells like happiness and it leaves our hair soft and manageable.
Don’t you want to smell like happiness too?
Askinosie Chocolate Single Origin Sipping Chocolate – 2 servings
Yes to sipping chocolate year round! I usually stock up on Trader Joe’s sipping chocolate during the holidays I prefer sipping chocolate over hot chocolate. I am pretty sure I tried a one serving sample of this chocolate from a subscription box but I do not recall which subscription box it was from but I am sure it was lovely I never had a sipping chocolate that I did not like! I digress, this sipping chocolate is vegan- and gluten-free.
This is a nice change from my usually glutonous ways.
Calm Book by Michael Acton Smith
I could always use a book with advice to keep me calm. This is a book that has several topics that are 1 to 2 pages long. There is a bookmark built in although the book does not need to be read in a linear matter. Hopefully I will completely read this. Maybe I already have “fog” but sometime I just read it and it all reads “blah blah blah blah” to me. So I would categorize this book as mindless reading even though its supposed to be about mindfulness.
This book should calm anyone with with two eyeballs that can read English. I can hope.
Herbivore Botanicals Coco Rose Body Polish – Mini-size
The Herbivore is a recent brand infiltrating the subscription box arena. I am happy that it is a green/eco brand! The coco rose body polish always helps since I aspire to achieve succulent skin.
I look forward to smelling like a coco rose.
Klorane Smoothing and Relaxing Patches with Soothing Cornflower – 2 pairs
I don’t know whether all these patches work but they do make me feel better. And I am pretty sure I tried these in a subscription box before.
Sub Box déjà vu.
Milk Makeup Hydrating Oil – Full-size
I always wanted one of these cool Milk Makeup sticks. Just because it reminds me of a push up. This.Looks.So.Juicy. I have not opened it up but I am admiring its juiciness. I is weird. I know.
A non-nommable push up.
I LOVE sleep masks!!! However, I still need to use up my Josh Rosebrook’s hydrating mask that I use as a sleep mask because it was expensive (even though discounted via a Detox Box).
I am trying to be a good girl instead of trying.all.the.things 😉
Richer Poorer Women’s Textured Crew Socks – 1 pair (colors will vary)
Soft and not scratchy (i.e., woolly) so this definitely going to be all mine!!!
For channeling my inner Onderria.
Smith & Cult Nailed Lacquer in Peaceful Paranoia – Full-size
I love anything Smith & Cult. Their packaging is so awesome and its a great brand.
I swear that sometimes I feel like I am in a peaceful paranoia.
I am going to use it when I have a ton of makeup on ma face since it is oil based. It has good reviews for taking off makeup and I have not found a cleanser that I love that fully does that. I hope this smells like oranges like its serum counterpart.
Which is a good thing since I have two serum counterparts from subscription boxes (one from January and the other next month) to plow through.
thisworks® deep sleep™ pillow spray – Full-size
I have received this via Birchbox before and I am not a fan. Maybe because it is not straight up lavender. Such a shame too because it is full size I would have been all over this if I liked the scent. This is going to the gift pile.
this.does.not.work.for.me.
Votivo® Aromatic Travel Tin Candle in No. 45 Grey Vetiver – 1 candle
Candles in my boxes is always a plus. Especially since I am in a candle kick. This smells like a walking with a fresh male wearing cologne on a fresh spring day. I am huffing it right now.
I would have lit this already if I did not have an overpowering Bath and Body Works wallflower plug in but as soon as that wallflower mellows out, this baby is going to be lit up!
Verdict:
I really enjoyed this LE Box from Birchbox. I wonder whether it will sell out or go on the 30%villager/40%ACE sale in the near future. I like it enough to perhaps buy another box at that discount but I do not love it enough to buy two boxes with that discount like I did when Birchbox had the Natural box awhile back.
